NAI Fellows Dues

About

The Program is supported through the contribution of dues. Dues go directly to the Fellows Program to support the engagement of our Fellows through such activities as providing peer review services for grants, enhanced recognition, involvement in public policy, increased opportunities to publish in the NAI Journal, special symposia, and more.

Thank you for your support of this important initiative as we continue to honor and recognize future generations of the nation’s prolific academic inventors across our nation and around the globe.

NAI Fellows Dues

Fellows dues are separate from the membership dues paid by the institutional member. Fellows dues are assessed to the individual Fellow on an annual basis.

All dues are used to directly support the Fellows Program and assist in honoring and recognizing future generations of top innovators.

$250 Annual Membership ($195 is tax deductible)

$2500 Lifetime Membership ($1,950 is tax deductible)

Invoicing of Fellows Dues

Invoices for NAI Fellows Dues will be issued annually in June to all Fellows (with the exception of those who elect Lifetime Fellows Membership). Upon payment, annual dues cover active membership from July 1 through June 30 each year. Failure to pay dues will result in a loss of NAI Fellows Program benefits.
